Very nice servers, good food, but the music outside is so loud on the patio, I wont go back. It was super annoying. Apparently its controlled by corporate and the restaurant cant do anything about it.

Cook in the kitchen wasn't wearing a hat or hair net also touching monitor with the same glove that was preparing food. Maybe management need to pay attention to that because they were no where to be seen.

My wife and I are regulars at the Manchester location. We always enjoy the great service and the great food. Our server named Dan always recognizes us and says hello regardless of whether he waits on us at our table. Louisa and Nino are also always there to greet us with a pleasant smile and a hello. Wonderful staff at this location. I recommend it highly.
